AttachMovieClip not transfering code?

[Sirisian]

i made a movie clip and made it so when i clikc on it another movie lip is created inside. That movieclip should move forward but is doesn't. look at the 10 lines of code and try and find a problem. Heres the code if u don't want to look at the .fla

on the box:


on (press) {
++i
_root.box.attachMovie(_root.bullet,"bullet"+i,i)
}

on the bullet:


onClipEvent (load) {
this._x = _root.box._x;
this._y = _root.box._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._name != "bullet") {
this._y -= 5;
}

}

if you already have the movie clip on the stage, and have the code on the movie clip, then why don't you just use duplicateMovieClip?

it has to go inside of the box....i'd show u the actual game but the code is like 1000 lines. anyone? I just updated the .FLA

did i phrase the question wrong or something? If you don't understand what im asking then: I need someone to find out how to use the attach movieclip function to put a movieclip into another movieclip and have it move.

this._y = _root.box._y;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._name != "bullet") {
this._y -= 5;
}

}

the code you have will work if you add another bracket and put an instance on the stage somewhere
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this._name != "bullet") {
this._y -= 5;
}
}

maybe a better approach is to put on the timeline containing box
velY=5
box.onPress = function() {
clip = this.attachMovie("bullet", "bullet"+i, i);
clip.onEnterFrame = move;
i++;
};
function move() {
this._y -= vely;

if (this._y<-this._parent._y) {
removeMovieClip(this);
velY = 5;
}
}

could u post a working version of this, I still can't get it t work for some reason.
